John 16:7


← John 16:6 [words of Jesus] John 16:7 (KJV) [words of Jesus] John 16:8 [words of Jesus] →
But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
